First time at course
The course itself was very well designed. However the tee box’s were like concrete. The greens had goose grass throughout as well as pythuim root rot. The was no food at the club house to order everything was pre packaged. The staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds crew left clippings on the fairways. Most course I have been to they mow them and bag which prevents this while this does rob the plant of nutrients. It does provide a clean fairway. I would play again however there is so work to bring it up to a good place to play.
Coming along
As always the staff were friendly. The greens are coming back there’s still some small patches on a few the fairways are in great condition now for the not so good, bunkers still need a lot of work as well as t-boxes need hammer to get tees in them overall a fun course and definitely will play again
Almost perfect
Considering the dry weather, this course is in fabulous condition. Almost zero burnt patches on fairways and greens. Overall, course is in fantastic shape. Only downside would be the golf carts. They work but need serious upgrade.
Course Conditions
Tee boxes and sand traps need support from staff. Greens and fairways were in great shape. I'll be back for sure after having 5 birdies.
Jekyll and Hyde
The back nine.... not a fan. Tee boxes, unmanaged rough etc.
Now, the front nine! Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful opening hole slight dog leg right, jumping right into a great par 3 over a hazard followed by a stunning par 5 leading into what i could only describe as 4 consecutive "links" style holes! 8th hole is dangerous and likely to have you layup. Small green tucked way in the back. Great hole! finishing on 9, not an easy one. Drastically up hill with a green that runs a mile south, and fast!
Overall, we will be back to play the front 9.
Biggest plus to the course, the hospitality! honestly felt like chatting it up with an old friend.
The greens
Overall good shape. Emphasis on attention to the greens would help. Players should be encouraged to repair divots on the greens.
Nice play...
I enjoyed getting back to this course. I played very well and enjoyed my time there.
Dishonest Management/Poor Course
4 golfers, tee time 1p. All of the course is in poor shape, tee boxes to greens. Be advised when booking tee time that carts have to be back at the clubhouse by 430p whether your finished or not. It would be great to know before spending the money at least to be able to make a decision. Not worth your time, you are not missing anything and there are plenty of courses around that allow a patron to finish a round of golf. Pretty sneaky to offer PM tee times to take your money prior to advising you you likely won't finish.
Good value
Fairways very good and challenging. Greens not in great shape. Very good environment.
Please Close
Just shut it down. Plow it under and build houses or something. The owners have clearly given up; the restaurant is abandoned, the "pro shop" is basically empty. There are no greens, just patches of weeks with dirt.
A few years ago we were playing this course every week; it was in great shape. Now it is worse than Lee's Hill. and that's saying ALOT.
Greens are terrible
Greens all bumpy from dead spots all greens . Can barely get a 1 foot putt to go straight . It’s a shame cause it’s a fun course to play . Please aerate the greens and sand them . Could be such a nice course . Also, the bar and grill is abandon . What the heck is wrong with these owners
